I've hired several Elm engineers for my company. Fact is, none of them knew Elm to begin with.
In my many years of experience, learning a new language or framework or API is simply part of the job description. What matters is critical thinking, software *engineering* experience, aptitude, attitude, a willingness to continue learning, and a desire to help others learn.
Every one of my engineers picked up Elm quickly and has come to enjoy using it. There is literally a world of (future) Elm engineers out there to hire.
